Eventually, two days had passed.
At this time, Rocky, Valeria, and Gloria had already arrived at Emperor City, which was just a mile away from the residence of the Di Clan.
Since the Spiritual Emperor Contest was just around the corner, the Emperor City was very lively, and many people roamed the streets. Several human spirit warriors specifically came here to watch the contest. Of course, among them were strong disciples from powerful forces.
Upon entering the city, the three immediately searched for an inn where they could stay.
"Sir, we'd like to ask for three rooms," Rocky requested.
"No. Two rooms are enough. My master and I can share a single room," Gloria immediately butted in as she held Rocky's arm.
Seeing this, Valeria could not help but look at Gloria. On their way here, she had felt strange about how she was behaving, but she didn't pay much attention to it. However, now that Gloria was on it again, her eyes narrowed and she grew even more suspicious.
'I wonder if Odin has a strange hobby, ' Valeria thought to herself.
"Three rooms, please." Rocky took Gloria's hands away from his arm and insisted that they should take a room for each of them.
Knowing that she was rejected again, Gloria instantly pouted and stomped her feet. Obviously, she was not pleased with the outcome.
Then, the staff of the inn guided the three of them upstairs and showed them their rooms.
"You can choose the room you want. I will take whatever is left. Anyway, I have to go out for a while, so just stay here," Rocky instructed.
"You're leaving? Where are you going?" Gloria asked with furrowed brows.
"I'll tell you about it when I come back. Remember, stay in your rooms and don't leave this place. Wait for me here," Rocky reiterated.
Valeria didn't complain or say anything. On the other hand, Gloria immediately protested, "Humph! I bet that you're leaving us to have some fun outside. No way! Take me with you!"
"Fine. If you won't listen to what I say, our agreement will be null and void," Rocky said coldly as he raised an eyebrow.
"You!" At this point, Gloria knew that Rocky was already being serious. He was actually threatening her so that she would behave herself.
"What agreement is that?" Valeria's eyes narrowed when she heard something that she didn't know about.
"It's just a master-and-disciple kind of agreement," Rocky quickly replied.
"Oh, I see. You want him to be your master, huh?" Valeria asked as she turned to Gloria. It seemed that she believed what Rocky just said.
"Ha! I really don't want him to be my master," Gloria replied with a snort.
"Now, go into your rooms." After saying that, Rocky eventually went downstairs and left the inn.
He planned to go straight to the residence of the Di Clan.
However, just as he was about to leave the city, he saw a few figures suddenly flow out of a tavern and crash on the ground near where he was standing. It seemed that someone attacked them and threw them out.
"You are from the East Grand Sect, aren't you? Don't you know where you are? How dare you harass a girl sexually here in the Emperor City?! I must teach you a lesson today," a figure said as she walked out of the tavern.
At first glance, anyone would think that she was a man because she dressed like one. But upon closer inspection, one could verify that she was actually a woman.
Moreover, when Rocky saw the woman who came out of the tavern, he smiled. He didn't expect such a coincidence. Now, he did not need to go all the way to the Di Clan's residence, because he already found the person that he was going to visit. It turned out that the woman disguised in men's clothing was actually Eunice.
Since Eunice had just become a Spiritual Emperor at the primary stage, it would be impossible for her to match Hall Leader Chen's power. However, even though she knew that she was at a disadvantage, Eunice wasn't fazed at all.
Then, in a flash, a flying knife shot out from Hall Leader Chen's sleeve and grazed Eunice's arm.
"What a despicable man!" It never occurred to Eunice that Hall Leader Chen would conceal a weapon and use a sneak attack. She became furious from embarrassment, but she soon found out that her strength was gradually fading away.
"Don't push yourself, lad. My knife was smeared with the Paralyzing Powder. You won't be able to use your spiritual power for two hours," Hall Leader Chen remarked with a sneer.
"Shame on you!" Eunice roared, frustrated at her current state.
"Finally, we can exact our revenge on him!" The disciples of the East Grand Sect, who had just been injured by Eunice, rubbed their hands and were excited to beat her up.
"Wait. She is actually a woman who's just wearing men's clothes. She also seems to be a fine one. Why don't we take her back so that you can play with her first? Hall Leader Chen let out an evil grin as he saw through Eunice's disguise.
"Really? A woman?" "Hall Leader Chen is right! Ha-ha! We caught a beauty!" Soon enough, the disciples of the East Grand Sect swarmed towards her with obscene smiles on their faces.
"How dare you? I am from the Di Clan! You'd better mind your actions or you'll incur the wrath of our clan!" Eunice immediately revealed her identity upon realizing that she was not in a favorable position.
"Humph! How convenient! Suddenly, you are a member of the Di Clan? Do you expect us to believe you?" Hall Leader Chen thought that Eunice was just bluffing to get out of this predicament. Thus, he did not believe her.
Then, just as Eunice was about to be taken away, a figure flashed and suddenly appeared in their midst. With a wave of his hand, an overwhelming spiritual power rushed out, instantly blowing away the disciples who surrounded Eunice.
At the same time, Eunice was stunned. She did not expect that someone would dare help her in this situation.
Of course, only Rocky could have made this move at the crucial moment.
